Using SEGREGATION to beat high scores in Mini Motorways!

Fixing gridlocked traffic by splitting up colours in Mini Motorways will help you get high scores in Mini Motorways! From the makers of Mini Metro comes Mini Motorways! A highway engineering puzzle game and in this video I, a highway designer of 10 years, see if my real life engineering skills help me become better at the Mini Motorways puzzle game by segregating different colours to fix bad traffic!

As in real life urban planning, the trick is to place your leftover single-tile roads that are disconnected from everything else in the areas where you don't want things to spawn. That way you can control where things spawn at only half the cost of placing an actually functional road, and you can always just pick up the pavement from your "road batteries" and place them elsewhere if you need them.

Imagine going to the supermarket and someone tears up the road you came on while you're shopping, so you have to drive around aimlessly trying to find another way home while hoping your GPS provider updates their maps.

This specific series is one of the few joys in my crumbling life I keep sticking together with toothpaste and twigs. Please make more episodes so my existential dread is drowned at least for a few minutes while I enjoy my mindless consumption of media instead of actually fixing the very deep seated and foundational issues of my life. Absolutely love this series!

[@redsight8593]

Some quick tips: 3:19 Segregate between colors as well, make two of the blue houses only be able to go to one super market and the other two force them to go to the other supermarket. 7:27 make the two left pink houses in the middle go to the normal supermarket and do a motorway from the big stack of pink houses to the imax cinema 8:24 Again segregate within colors. Force some houses to only be able to go to certain supermarkets. Also two keep up with demands, you could’ve made a motorway from the bottom left blue houses to the blue imax cinema 9:12 What you could’ve done, instead of using the motorway at the bottom for the purples, you could have avoided the island to use one bridge instead of two 9:25 Again that’s kind of a useless motorway 9:45. Grey’s path to the right supermarket is way to long. You could’ve usen a motorway to make things much easier 10:31 you could’ve use another motorway (or another road that avoids that main one) for the light blues on the bottoms left to the top left supermarket to avoid light blues, pinks and greys go into the same road. (Which ended being the thing that made you loose) 15:15 Instead of connecting the motorway to the top dark blue houses, connect it to the dark blue houses of the bottom right, so that each group has their individual supermarket and can meet demand much easier 15:48 Too much cars are going to that road, even if you used more road pieces connect the mid left greys directly to the new supermarket. And the top left greys to the old supermarket 16:22 again, that road is stressing too much, segregate! Even if you have too use double the roads 16:33 Delete that connection and use the other exit to directly connect it to the mid left grey houses 17:50 Use a bridge too replace motorway number 1 18:04 Using the tip above you could have connected some of the purple houses to the top left supermarket using a motorway 18:07 Either take the light blues or the greys through a new road so theirs not as much traffics 18:08 Again Keep the top dark blue houses to the top right dark blue imax, and bring the motorway to the bottom right dark blue houses, so they can take care of the bottom left supermarkets without taking a long road up, and making a lot of traffic in the top right corner 18:28 You could have connected the top right yellow houses to the top mid iMax theater with a bridge 20:20 I think it goes to the more direct route. That’s why forcing them to go to a longer route to avoid traffic is the way to go I think I missed some things but that’s what I saw on the first time. Also if you don’t want thing to spawn in a specific place, covered it with empty roads that lead nowhere. And other that that I love this video and this series as a whole, I’m just trying to help and I hope you countinue making this videos

[@Poldovico]

You don't have infinite tiles and motorways lol

[@redsight8593]

@@Poldovico I know, I’m just saying he could’ve made better choices. He used motorways for tiny things and had tons of road pieces left.

[@CubeFlow_46]

A cool thing that could be added to this is traffic signals, like you could direct traffic to other roads/lanes. Say for example you have a motorway and it leads onto a busy intersection. You could move traffic to a side road if they are not trying to get on the motorway. Just a thought, but I would love to see that in game!

[@DEP1323]

Love the videos, I have been watching and learning as you play. I wouid like to request if you could use the Dark mode listed in your settings. It would make it easier to watch them

[@aro4457]

Beijing and Tokyo were pronounced in the English way….

[@zvolyx3247]

@@madhouse5213 Yes in fact. "Los Angeles" is a Spanish name, "Beijing" (北京市) is Chinese, and "Tokyo" (東京) is Japanese. And while I can't say anything on his pronunciation of "Beijing" since I don't speak Chinese, as a student of Japanese and a person who lives in an area populated with native spanish speakers, I can say fairly confidently that RCE's pronunciation of Los Angeles and Tokyo were also, in fact, incorrect.

Do the traffic lights help in this game?

Pretty sure they don't help me! 😅

[@gaiusjuliuspleaser]

If there's not too much traffic they can help a bit. But only a bit and not for very long in my experience.

[@darth0tator]

I was watching an early stream of the apple version, which came out first and the devs were in chat and said: "traffic lights do absolutely nothing for you"

[@ThaJay]

Traffic lights in this game only work on a crossroads with everyone going straight. As soon as cars need to make turns at the traffic light it falls apart.

It's close enough to red for practical purposes

I find it more red than pink personally as all the colours are a bit pastel. And pink is a dilute shade of red and white so it's like saying Lavender isn't purple :D
